Then add an emoticon or something. I thought you were serious too.

I don't think so, people are pretty vocal about the suits being awful but most seem to have actually really enjoyed the show itself. From what I've seen, those that didn't enjoy it (myself being one of them), seem to be few and far between.

I know i largely remember Lost Galaxy for being the show where my interest in Rangers started to decline. Maybe it was because it followed my favorite season. Maybe one day i will give it a shot on netflix.

I dig the Megaforce / Gosei suits...Gotta watch that too

I dislike Lost Galaxy's suits, but the show itself was solid. I quite enjoyed it.

I think why some people don't like it, is solely because it followed Space. I admit. When it first came on I was confused. After season after season you get used to the actors carrying on to the next season.. it just stopped. And they started hiring new people. It threw me off. But after you move past that, there's alot to love.

I'll have you know the only Power Rangers series I dislike are Lost Galaxy, Ninja Storm and Operation Overdrive

Maybe Turbo as well, but I need to rewatch that before I can judge just how awful it was

I know that. In fact, Tony Oliver and I were talking about that last year when he was at my anime convention. He said they never thought of anything like that until about 12 episodes into when someone pointed it out to them and he said both him and Saban were just shocked and were unsure how to respond to it.

As for myself, I did not think about that until in 2003 when a coworker brought it up and I still had to think about what he was talking about. It's just one of those things that were so stupid and over analyzed that it is fun to make jokes about every now and then.

Honestly, I thought I did, becuase I clicked on the emoticons, but for some reason, it did not appear. This isn't the first time in the last day or so either that has happened.

BTW, I have nothing against the Gingaman suits, but my problem with Lost Galaxy are as follows:

1. The military suits ripped off Starship Troopers.
2. All of the villians were supposed to be killed by the Zordon Wave, so how did the dudes survive? It would have made more sense had they been IN the Lost Galaxy, so they were not affected by it.
3. The show is called LOST GALAXY, but there is nothing lost about the galaxy until the last 6 episodes of the show, and they only spend like 4 of those in the Lost Galaxy. Again, annoying, especially when the only villians they released toys of were the characters that were not even featured UNTIL the last episodes.
4. Bringing back Kendrix at the end copped out on killing her off in the first place. I know why she left the show, but they should have kept her dead.
5. The villians never felt like a threat. It is hard to take a tentacle bug who cannot walk on his own seriously. Not to mention there is no way he could have spawned Trakeena now matter how you look at it.

Now I have never watched every episode to LG, I will when I get the DVD set, but it was not a terrible show. It's just the things I mentioned were a big issue for me. I did love Deviot though, the guy was awesome and I loved the voice they gave him. In fact, I loved his voice so much that when I did finally see Gingaman, I was disappointed by how bland his Japanese voice was. There was nothing robotic about it in Gingaman at all.

Ehh, while the shift was odd, it did make sense. All these heroes had shown their mettle, but it was time for change. If we stuck with the In Space team after they saved the universe, then it would've just gone downhill from there. By changing the team, we got to see new faces, a new red ranger grow, and a new set of stories.
In this regard, I disagree with Linkara entirely (Don't know if you watch HoPR lol) when he states that swapping the team during the halfway point in Turbo was stupid. Tommy and the gang were pretty much approaching the epitome of their tenure. They worked perfectly as a team, they never had any real trouble handling monsters, they were consistent and formulaic. In story, changing was a dumb idea, but from the viewer standpoint, it was boring as all hell and the shift to TJ and the like let us see the Rangers begin again (Something that hadn't happened since MMPR S1, since the swap to Rocky and team was mitigated by the fact that Rocky's group already knew each other and they got along with Billy, Kimberly, and Tommy from the get go).

Never again shall we have a team cooked into a giant pizza, the greatest villain plot ever.
A shame is what it is.

I agree, after all, how can you get more powerful than tears of resurrection? Andros can beat anyone on his own because I bet those tears will kill the living just as much as they bring back the dead.

As for the change of cast in Turbo, sorry, but I hated it. It was random and came out of nowhere. Had Delphia said, "Hey rangers, look, you are getting to the age where you need to move on with your lives, so why don't you start keeping an eye out for valid replacements," it would have worked. But TJ and Cassie just randomly appear, save Tommy, and then, "Hey thanks, you are now rangers." At least Aisha, Adam, and Rocky had a build up to their becoming rangers in Season 2. Hell, even Kimberly's departure was built up throughout a portion of Season 3.

Matrixbeast · 06-24-2012, 11:49 AM

The change was poorly handled, no argument there.
